After a class wide vote, Ashton, the quiet boy who chose Theatre to try and make friends, is picked to play the famous role of Juliet from the Shakespearian classic, Romeo and Juliet. And as bad as it is to actually have to preform the role, he has to play it with probably the most homophobic, rude, and detestable person in the world. Luke Hemmings. (This is my first story on here and it will probably have lots of mistakes and suck.) [credit to -grxnge for the cover.] © lovelylittlelashton, Hayley 2014

"What the Princess wants, the Princess gets." ☻ ☹ When neighbour Ashton's raucous drumming wakes Luke up at 2am, he stomps next door to shut him up. But those hazel eyes begin to infatuate him and he starts to sneak next door at 2am for other things.

what if we get caught? then i'll die for you. .. or the one where luke and ashton are closeted together in a town full of homophobes

The last thing Ashton ever wanted to do was hurt Luke, but he couldn't help it. The singer was just so beautiful, so ethereal and otherworldly that it took his breath away most of the time. Everyone felt that way about their best friend though, right? It was normal. No use getting unnecessary feelings involved, it was better this way. Luke understood. Luke wasn't sure when this thing between him and Ashton started, or how it started, but it didn't matter. He was in too deep to go back now. So Luke would let Ashton use him, hurt his feelings and crawl back with apologies. Because at the end of the day, even when Luke had to watch Ashton leave the bar with a new pretty blonde each night, he knew the drummer would eventually end up back in his bed. And Luke told himself he was okay with that.

❝Everyone has flaws. You me, Michael and Ashton - we're all just a club of misfits.❞ A club for those who need a friend created by two best friends.

5 Seconds of Summer are a few shows away from the end of the Where We Are tour back in 2014. Next, they're going to be selling out concerts, playing in stadiums, and living their dreams even more than they are currently. But just because things are wonderful on the outside, doesn't mean things are scratch-free under the surface. Luke is battling a war against himself, though he would never admit to it. He thinks he's completely fine; he's not doing anything out of the ordinary. He's just improving himself. Cutting out junk food and adding in some exercise isn't harmful. But obsessing over weight, restricting food intake, being afraid to eat? That's a different story... But Luke is handling it. Luke is in control. At least, that what he thinks. Ashton sees Luke's behavior otherwise. or the one where Luke is struggling with an eating disorder, but doesn't believe he has a problem. Lashton // Luke centric

"Cause I just need another hit You're the thing that I can't quit" -Vapor Luke and his best friend, Calum moved in to their new apartment in hopes of starting a new life and adventure in uni. They were neighbors with Michael, a happy-go-lucky, colored haired, green-eyed guy and his best friend, Ashton, the quiet and mysterious guy who seemed to be angry at the world. Little did Luke know that his greatest adventure would involve the hazel-eyed Ashton and that he'd be drawn into him way harder than he should. T!Ashton B!Luke

"In all our lives, there is a fall from innocence. A time after which we are never the same." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once Luke graduated high school he went straight to becoming a cop. But the punk kid who loved him never forgot about those blue eyes. "What's wrong Lukey, you seem nervous?" "I can lose my job for this Irwin." "Didn't stop you from letting me off the hook for breaking and entering, and then letting me fuck you in your cop car."

What happens when one boy shatters everything you thought you knew about yourself? "I don't like boys. But I like you. Does that make sense?" "No." "Good."
